The adhesive portion of the Gekks fit perfectly into my flats and adhered well to the shoe. The liner is simple to attach and doesn't affect the way the shoe feels when you wear it with non-Gekk socks.
But then it came time to attach the Gekk sock to the liner, and I wondered if it was the wrong size. I had to stretch the socks to their limit to get them to fit the shoe. When I wore them, the toe cover on the sock hits my toes at a funny place because of how small or low they are. This might be a design choice to allow people to wear extremely low cut flats, but it made them much less comfortable than they could have been. Also, whereas the liner was perfectly smooth and comfortable to walk on, the sock had a strange ribbed texture that felt rough on my feet.
Nevertheless, the Gekks did accomplish what they promised: I was able to wear flats all day without socks. I loved being able to slip my feet in and out of the shoe without ugly no-show socks showing, and the overall concept was excellent. It definitely makes my ballet flats more appealing to wear. But I think the sock design could use some work.
